Premier League champions Manchester United host arch-rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday lunch time in a match that may go a long way towards deciding which of the two giants of the English game finish in the top four of the standings come the end of the campaign, and with it gain entry into next season’s Uefa Champions League.

However, it is the Red Devils who are in more urgent need of the three points this weekend, currently trailing the Reds as they do by 11 points with now just 10 league games left this season.
